Out of Rehab

The woman who called Hillary a "monster" during the primaries comes back to the fold. It should be mentioned that Samantha Power has since married Cass Sunstein, a fellow law prof at Chicago with Obama who got appointed something or other also.

Samantha Power, the Harvard University professor and Pulitzer Prize-winning author who earned notoriety for calling Hillary Rodham Clinton a "monster" while working to elect Barack Obama president, will take a senior foreign policy job at the White House, The Associated Press has learned.

Officials familiar with the decision say Obama has tapped Power to be senior director for multilateral affairs at the National Security Council, a job that will require close contact and potential travel with Clinton, who is now secretary of state. NSC staffers often accompany the secretary of state on foreign trips.
